Vintage Tussie Mussie
A tussie mussie is a small, decorative flower holder or nosegay with roots dating back to medieval Europe, when fragrant herbs and flowers were carried to mask unpleasant odors and were believed to offer protection from illness. The tradition became especially popular during the Victorian era, when these petite bouquets took on a romantic meaning through the language of flowers, with each bloom conveying a secret message or sentiment. Often crafted from silver, metal, or ornate materials, antique tussie mussies were both functional and highly decorative.
